Yes, you must be very proud of the “little project” you started from some forked code! I bet you didn’t imagine that you’d see so many people on blogs run by the software you worked on and the team you lead back when you got started!!
I hope people see your story and remember that starting with a small idea, huge dreams and empires can be realized.

I think the ‘story behind the story’ is the real big news here; a year back Adobe purchased Business Catalyst which is a CRM solution with blogging capabilities. Now Adobe doesn’t use its own Platform/Service but chooses WordPress for it’s Blogs!
Well done to all from WordPress!
